Correct Answer

A. Hercule Poirot

Hercule Poirot is the correct answer because the question mentions a "famous Belgian detective" who is not French. This description matches Hercule Poirot, as he is a renowned detective from Belgium. Miss Marple is a detective character created by Agatha Christie, but she is not Belgian. Sherlock Holmes is a famous detective, but he is not Belgian either. Columbo is also a detective character, but he is not Belgian and not as well-known as Hercule Poirot.
